I’ve never had flowers
Yes I’ve had boyfriends
The worst boyfriends and
Pretty okay boyfriends
But I’ve never received flowers
not from any one of them
I’ve always dreamt of receiving flowers
For my birthday
For Valentine’s day or
Just as a gift
The day has never come
And now I’m sixteen
Never have I been given flowers
Thats sad isn’t it?
I see girls my age receiving them
Smelling them
Smiling
Hugging their boyfriends
Like this is the biggest thing in their lives
Just for them to break up later
But I don’t understand what thats like
I hate that I don’t understand what thats like
I’m jealous of girls that have the honor
to receive flowers like its normal
I’ve gotten to the point where
I don’t even want flowers anymore
I’d love to receive them
but I want to be given them
by someone I know I’ll marry
That way
It would be my first bouquet of flowers
It would be special
And I wouldn’t have to be so sad
if the relationship ended
The first set of flowers I receive
I hope wont be my last
I hope that every week
or at least month
My husband
Or fiancé
will surprise me with flowers
And I will cherish them forever
I’ll take care of them
As if they were my children
because they would be so precious to me
So, I’m content
with the fact I haven’t received flowers yet
because at least I’ll be able to say
My husband was the first person
to ever gift me
a bouquet of flowers.
